What our guests are saying…

"Great Stay! The house is beautiful and the pictures don't do it justice. We enjoyed the back porch quite a bit and opened the windows at night to hear the rushing water. As soon as we got there and sat down on the porch, my husband was ready to plan our next stay. The house is located very close to the downtown area and a local grocery store. We cant wait to go back!" - Rent In Highlands Vacation Rental Guest, Nicky

Well Appointed Home
This two bedroom house was a great find. Clean and well decorated inside. Both bedrooms had ensuite access to a bathroom. The back deck was perfect for enjoying coffee and breakfast in the morning and wine & cheese in the evening. Very short, 3 minute drive to the heart of Highlands.

Have-it-all in Highlands
We loved staying at this property. The home is well-appointed and its close proximity to downtown is incredibly convenient. Visiting during summer, the back porch is the place to relax with the restful sound of the creek in the backyard. I have a high standard for cleanliness and this home was extremely clean which I appreciate. Next time we will book a longer visit!

Great house!
This beautiful, clean home has everything you could want! Every necessity we looked for was there, and more. The back porch is fabulous, with the sound of the stream and all the birds singing. The beds are comfortable, the towels luxurious, the kitchen well stocked and all items were lovely. The house is decorated very attractively, and the neighborhood is serene and beautiful. Absolutely loved our stay here!

Relaxing weekend getaway
We had an excellent experience at this property and with Rent in Highlands. Communication was great and they were very responsive when we had questions. The digital guest book was also very convenient. The house itself was perfect for 2 couples with plenty of room to relax and visit. The bathrooms were nicely renovated. The porch and fire pit area were great places to take in the surroundings and listen to the creek flowing in the woods. Will look to rent through them again the next time we go to Highlands!

Wonderful home away from home!
Just returned from Thanksgiving in Highlands, staying at this property for the first time. We had a fantastic experience! The home is very comfortable, cozy without feeling like guests are crammed in together, and very close to everything there is to do in Highlands. We enjoyed hiking Whiteside Mountain nearby as well as Glen Falls and Secret Falls. Two grocery stores are within 5 minutes, and the neighborhood is nice and quiet. The host was very accessible when needed and very accommodating to my family's needs. Will definitely return!

Great location and the place was very nice
We really enjoyed our time there and the accommodations were just as expected. One thing to be aware of is the need to take the trash to the dumpster yourself. Maybe I didn't read the original writing but that was a bit of a surprise. Overall we greatly enjoyed the house and would rent it again if we were in the area. If you are not used to the area you will be traveling up a very steep and curvy single lane road up to Highlands. This is the same for any property in the area.

A Wonderful Experience
This was our first trip to Highlands and it was one of the best vacations ever. The cottage is so charming and comfortable. The weather was great with highs in the mid 70's and lows at night in the low 60's; and during July. It can't get better than that. The cottage had everything and was so nicely appointed. Sitting on the back porch and listening to the rain or the water in the creek made it the most pleasurable of experiences. Everything was so peaceful and quite, but still only a quick drive to downtown. Would recommend this to anyone and plan to go back again and again if at all possible. Found both the cottage and Highlands to be an experience not to be missed.
